I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 57
"Fox of the Qingtang Dynasty" Qing Yi knotted a ghost badge, and in the phalanx of personal guards with large shields erected, approached the place two miles away from the city wall, and personally commanded his subordinates to fight on the city.

But in fact, this kind of army is stationed under the city, and only teams of thousands of people can only take turns to go to the siege of the ants attached to the city, which does not reflect the cunning and wisdom of the rumored Qingtang Fox at all.

Fu Jinchuan watched the battle sitting on the tallest tower of the main tower, surrounded by many generals including Shi Wannian and Japu Huali.

There are tens of thousands of households in the central area directly under the majesty, and ten thousand-man teams are all wearing chain mail and holding swords. They are all rare elites in Qingtang.

However, these elites can only climb the city wall one after another with the help of flying claws and ladders, just like the warriors of the Yeli and Renduo tribes. The defenders sent down.

On the high platform five miles away, Tuoba Chide was watching the siege battle like all the Qingtang dignitaries.

Compared with the perfunctory on the bright side two days ago, the attack of the Qingtang people on the attacking side of the city today is much more violent.

This also shows that Tuoba Chide really wants to capture the Shule City in front of him.That's why the elite of ten thousand households in the central part of his subordinates will continue to attack desperately.

And every time a warrior fell from the city wall, Tuoba Chide's heart seemed to be bleeding.

The defenders on the city wall were not made of mud. After the cavalry assault on the first day, the opponent was obviously a little timid on the second and third days. I got angry.

The troops defending the city are all infantry. The other day before yesterday, I watched the cavalry brothers fleeing in all directions outside the city. While the morale was boosted, I was still a little unconvinced. Why can you go out of the city with prestige?

In the battle of the first two days, the siege party obviously had a certain attitude to deal with it, and the two sides seemed to be competing to the end.

Today, it is a matter of life and death.

The soldiers defending the city were also inspired to fight. There were three to five well-trained infantry in ambush behind each crenel, or armed with spears or shields. pushed down.

At noon, the weather was scorching hot, and Qingtang was still in vain after suffering a lot of casualties, so he could only withdraw the offensive, and both sides died down.

Fu Jinchuan looked at the Qingtang people who were alternately covering under the city and said: "Sure enough, I was bitten by a snake in one move, and I was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Look at the Qingtang people. Even the ministries that did not participate in the siege this time are all in good order. There is no chance to repeat the old trick.”

Zhapu Huali laughed and said: "Bai Ting once, Shule once, from now on whoever faces the enemy with Lang Jun must form a good formation honestly and arrange soldiers to cover. Lang Jun is already a famous general in the world when he uses troops."

Fu Jinchuan smiled when he heard it, and was noncommittal.But he is very self-aware, a famous general?At least for now it almost makes sense.Now give him tens of thousands of troops and let him lead the army to go out. Without the assistance of the veteran general, it will be difficult to arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Tens of thousands or even more troops are dispatched, how to set up camps, the marching order of the various ministries, how to protect the food roads, the impact of the weather on the marching, and other matters such as these will all be taken care of by the Lord in the future.

Although Fu Jinchuan was taught by his grandfather since he was a child, and he is familiar with the art of war of various schools and the marching letters of his ancestors, but it is different when he actually commands an army.

But given him several thousand, or even hundreds of people, in his hands, such a number of elites can often have the aura of tens of thousands.

And what he showed in the two battles of Baiting and Shule was that he was good at discovering the enemy's loopholes, and then launched a thunderous blow against the enemy's weaknesses.

Fu Jinchuan is confident that if the strength of the two armies is less than [-], he will not lose to any famous general in the world.

But the standard for a famous general must not be commanding thousands of troops.

According to my grandfather's words, "A company with hundreds of thousands of people, advancing and retreating in a certain way, so that the soldiers are well-prepared, the attack must be conquered, and the battle must be won, only then can we become a famous general."

In the eyes of Fu Xun, the old Duke of the Fu family, who was posthumously named King Wuyi of the Northland after his death, and who had firmly suppressed Ding Guogong and the first Yan King and other famous generals when he was alive, he could not command and dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops. Not a famous general.

In Fu Jinchuan's view, [-] is a watershed.

Fu Jinchuan, who was born in a distinguished family, obviously knows that he is a rare general in the world who can command 10 people like his arms and fingers.

It is enough to be called a famous general.

As for Qingtang, no matter according to his grandfather's standard or Fu Jinchuan's standard, there is only one person who can be counted as a famous general, and that person is sitting on the opposite building car to watch the battle.

"Old Prime Minister, what's wrong with ghosts using soldiers?" Tuoba Chide, whose heart was bleeding, asked the Prime Minister beside him to praise him.

Now Tuoba Chide urgently needs some reassurance from this Qingtang army god.

"Majesty, although Guizhang is young, his deployment has a certain degree of advancement and retreat. Even if I am in command, he can only rush up one by one. This kind of siege can only be piled up with human lives. See The problem is that whoever can't bear it first will not have any tricks to use."

Tuoba Chide understood this truth, but the casualties of Wanhu in the central part still made it difficult for him to accept.Those are his most loyal fighters, but at this moment they can only shed their blood on the head of Shule city.

"Majesty, why don't you just come here today."

It was Mi Hong from Liuzhi Township who spoke. He was in charge of dispatching the entire army, although he looked more like a soldier in front of the Maharaja.

Tuoba Chide wanted to nod his head immediately after hearing this, but the current situation does not allow him to do so.

Renta alone and Noriyoung were still watching from the sidelines.Many small tribes are also watching.

Why, the tribe directly under the Maharaja withdrew after fighting for a long time?
When Tuoba Chide was in a dilemma, a piece of military news made him no longer have to worry about it.

Chifotang City has fallen.Moreover, after Xue Cong captured Chifotang City, he led his army to Shule City.

And this news was at least six or seven days ago.

If Xue Cong took the trail of Jialan City, he would not be far from Shule City.

In fact, Fu Jinchuan got the military report several days earlier than Tuoba Chide, and it was much more detailed.

Xue Cong captured the city of Chifotang and completed the battle of destroying the country. He did not stop at Chifotang. Instead, he ordered his deputy general Peng Lin to lead a thousand Jin troops and three thousand soldiers to guard Chifotang. Lin led two thousand vassal soldiers to escort Yuezhen King, Queen and many other princes back to Liangzhou.

And Xue Cong himself led [-] Jin troops on foot and cavalry, and [-] feudal troops rushed to the aid of Shule City.

Such news made Tuoba Chide fall into the abyss.

This meant that Xue Cong could arrive within a day or two, and all his plans to capture Shule City had come to naught.

Although Xue Cong only has more than [-] people on this journey, who is Xue Cong?That is the Hexi general who is more famous than Fu Jinchuan.

Xue Wanfu means the undeserved courage of Wanfu.This name is not his own, but the Qingtang people, the Jinzhang people, and the Qianghu tribe who are not in many names helped him get it with blood.

Tuoba Chide could even imagine how the defenders in the city would cheer when the "Xue" banner appeared outside Shule City.

And how will the Qingtang army panic when they lose one after another.

At this time, Lun Zan, who seldom expressed his opinion actively, said: "Majesty, if you break it, you will break it."

Tuoba Chide glanced at him, then nodded vigorously.

"All the armies are ready to pull out their camps and retreat."

According to Tuoba Chide's thinking, the morale of the [-] army is at a high level, and they can take Shule City in three to five days.

Even if it can't be won in three or five days, should it be won in seven or eight days?He didn't expect Yuezhen Kingdom to be so vulnerable, even the mountain fortress was destroyed in four days, and the city of Chifotang fell after only a few days.

He never thought that he was almost captured alive when he came to Shule City on the first day.

The second day, the third day.
Now on the fourth day, I haven't made any progress.Can only give up.

This is definitely a blow to his reputation.It is even conceivable that after returning to the Qingtang Dynasty, several big clans, such as Renduo, Yeli, Yuzang and other powerful clans, would become more unscrupulous
But at this moment, the soldiers have no fighting spirit and can only retreat. Otherwise, even if they can form a confrontation with the Jin army after a long delay, the supply line is too long, which will definitely give the Jin army an opportunity.

Once there is a problem with the food road, it will be difficult for tens of thousands of troops to return to the Xihai Plateau.So no matter how much he planned in his mind, Tuoba Chide could only give up.

Naturally, the Qingtang people's actions could not be hidden from Fu Jinchuan in the city.

The fierce offensive in the morning did not last until the afternoon, so anticlimactic, coupled with the movements of the ministries, could not be hidden from the eyes on the city wall.

"Lang Jun, it seems that Qingtang people have received the news and are ready to retreat."

Jia Shixun, an experienced soldier, soon saw that the Qingtang Army, an old opponent, was preparing to retreat.

"General Xue's headquarters is less than a hundred miles away from here, and the Guazhou reinforcements are only tens of miles away. Our army is expected to win another victory like Baiting."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lang, how about going out of the city to kill him for a while?"

Shi Wannian said even more excitedly.

Guo Daifeng and Japu Huali on the side also looked forward to it.

Fu Jinchuan smiled and said, "What's the rush? There are tens of thousands of people in the city, are you afraid that there will be no credit for it?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Lang said so."

Several people also laughed.

At this time, the smile on Fu Jinchuan's face faded away, replaced by the stern look from the military meeting.Walking into the edge of the city wall, looking at the Qingtang camp, he said: "My grandfather, King Wuyi of the North, once told me that he fought dozens of battles in his life, and only lost one battle. The Battle of Sichuan. In that battle, my grandfather’s governor-general 13 troops attacked Dafeichuan in the Qingtang Dynasty. The front part was Zhao Huaijie, the governor of Shazhou at that time. In the end, he was defeated by the people of Qingtang. The [-] troops under his command were wiped out. Only he and a dozen of his personal guards escaped back. At this time, the opportunity to fight was lost, and my grandfather had no choice but to retreat, and Zhao Huaijie was also hereditary Marquis, he thought that he could be exonerated because he had a title, but his grandfather cut him off without waiting for him to be escorted to Beijing. My grandfather told me that you can't do such a thing because you are greedy for meritorious deeds.

"By the way, at that time Qingtang's chief general was the current Guoxiang Lun Zanpo"

After Fu Jinchuan finished telling the story, he didn't look back, but the people behind him put away their excitement just now.

They also understood what Lang Jun, who was not yet 20 years old, wanted to say, and suddenly felt that he had lived his entire life like a dog.

When everyone saw the majesty and majesty of the Qingtang army, when they were afraid, he said that the Qingtang people were vulnerable to a single blow, and he proved this with his actions.

When everyone felt that the enemy army was not worth mentioning and wanted to take the lead, he talked about the past to warn everyone not to be greedy for merit.

Just when everyone listened to the instruction and felt ashamed, Fu Jinchuan seemed to think of something suddenly, and laughed loudly: "Go and find a prisoner from Qingtang."

"I want to give Tuoba Chide a gift."
